SSC Stenographer 2023 Previous Year Paper (13-Oct-2023) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

over the others when food

The correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'over the others when food'.

 Key Points

  • The segment in question, "by the others only which food," is quite confusing and does not clearly convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
  • The replacement segment "over the others when food" makes the sentence more intelligible:
  • "The fluffy cat used to make a feeble cry over the others when food was supplied by Leepika." This implies that the cat would cry above or louder than the others when Leepika provided food.
  • The term 'over the others' is used to indicate that the cat's cry was dominant or noticeable among others,
  • 'when food' implies the timing of the cat's cry, which is when food was supplied.
  • Hence, the correct answer is- 'over the others when food'.
Therefore, the correct and complete sentence is "The fluffy cat used to make a feeble cry over the others when food was supplied by Leepika."

  Additional Information

  • 'Option 2 - about the others while food': This option is incorrect because the preposition 'about' and conjunction 'while' do not convey the correct context in this sentence.
  • 'Option 3 - among the others what food': This option is also incorrect. 'What food' is not appropriate as per the sentence structure.
  • 'Option 4 - above the others where food': This option is incorrect because the term 'where food' is an incorrect reference to the timing of the cat's cry.
